And reform has eaten Labour's historic heartlands.

And also those who are waking up in London

are finding that Labour councils that are meant to be safer than anywhere in the country are now run by the Green Party.

So to experience that in reality and not just a series of polls in newspapers has been shocking.

And also it's the unanimity of what these people are hearing from voters.

which is it's not necessarily about policy.

They're not lost to Labour Party forever.

They just bluntly hate the Prime Minister.

And people are waking you up to the fact that even though the alternatives are unproven, there is no argument that nothing could possibly be worse.

Well, all eyes today are on Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary.

Angela Rayner, Keir Starmer's former deputy, put out a long and slightly confusing statement last night, the top line of which was basically, I want Andy Burnham back.

But Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, is obviously not an MP.

He needs to find a seat.

That'll take time.

Lots of MPs are calling for...

for Keir Starmer's head, are calling for an orderly transition, which is code for give Andy a couple of months to find a seat and give him a coronation.

But West Streeting, who is less popular with Andy Burnham among the membership, has in his hands today the opportunity to go over the top and say, enough of this.

I am challenging Keir Starmer for leadership.

That is his only path, his cabinet colleagues think, to taking over.

And all eyes are on him.
